Dishoom Brings Its First Market to Shoreditch — And It’s Set to Be the Season’s Most Stylish Cultural Drop-In

Dishoom is switching things up this November with the debut of Dishoom Loves Market — a two-weekend takeover in Shoreditch that blends craft, culture, style, and a generous dose of Bombay spirit. Yes, there will be chai. Bottomless, in fact. But more importantly for our readers, there will be makers, designers, apparel, and objects that speak directly to the modern man’s wardrobe and lifestyle.

Running across two weekends (21–23 and 28–30 November), the market transforms Kachette on Old Street into a daytime bazaar of South Asian creativity, with a lineup that feels curated for the kind of man who cares as much about the cut of his T-shirt as he does about the incense burning at home.

Expect standout accessories from Anisha Parmar Studio, hand-embroidered home essentials from La Jambu, and leather goods from Nappa Dori that would slip effortlessly into a considered everyday carry. There’s also Tiipoi with its beautifully restrained homeware — ideal for anyone who lives by the “buy less, buy better” rule — and No Borders, the slow-fashion platform spotlighting global artisanship through a South Asian lens.

Dishoom is using the market to debut apparel and lifestyle goods from its own store too. The Bombay Market Bag is one of the more wearable takeaways — a utilitarian shopper with a graphic sensibility that feels very Shoreditch in the best way. Meanwhile, the new Daal, Chai and Bun Maska caps and tees bring that nostalgic Dishoom typography into casual menswear. Think easy graphic pieces for off-duty days.

Workshops throughout both weekends offer hands-on moments — but with a distinctly stylish edge. Map embroidery with Ekta Kaul taps into the current craft revival. Tote printing with Neera Sehgal brings traditional Indian woodblock printing into the modern streetwear conversation. And for the man whose bathroom shelf is an extension of his personal brand, incense holder decorating with Mush Studio is an unexpectedly chic touch.

Evenings at the market lean into music, film, and conversation. The Permit Room Lates turn the space into a listening bar (the kind of place where the vinyl selection matters), while a Q&A with Riz Ahmed and Aneil Karia promises one of the month’s most compelling cultural deep-dives.

Ultimately, Dishoom Loves Market is less a shopping event and more a cultural edit — bringing South Asian creativity into the heart of East London with a sense of style, purpose and community. For the modern gentleman, it’s exactly the kind of place to discover something new: a designer, a story, a perspective — or just a better tote bag.
